Situated in an extensive plain in the Gipuzkoa region and facing the open sea, Zarautz is a modern and attractive tourist destination. Its beach is the longest on the coast of the southern Basque Country and it ends, on its eastern side, with a large dune area which serves as a natural habitat for many species of local flora and fauna.
Zarautz enjoys a privileged landscape and natural environment thanks to its location between the mountains sparse with farms and the sea. Its tourist tradition, due to the presence of royalty and aristocracy during the 19th century, is still visible in the architecture of the small palaces and stately homes, another sign of Zarautz's identity.
All this makes Zarautz a city with an authentic and pleasant atmosphere, a symbol of quality of life that its inhabitants willingly share with visitors.
